Like a Zero fighter coming in at full throttle, the wood-swallow swoops in on the eagle, seemingly screaming its lungs out. The eagle's expression appears of utter surprise - I'll have the same reaction too if I were chased by a much smaller creature.

 After the inverted loop, the pesterer attacks from behind in a classic dogfighting tactic. The raptor, seemingly surprised once more, can only manage a puzzled look.

 The wood-swallow, like a speeding bullet, again overshoots the raptor. This time, the larger bird got the message and just flew away... possibly in search of safer adversaries, like snakes and lizards...;-)
